The course presented here: Metal Method - Complete Basic Guitar Course (also known as Rock Guitar Lesson Course) is their flagship product. This set of 6 DVDs was proclaimed to be "absolutely essential" by Guitar World Magazine. So what will you get in the package?
Each of the DVDs has 4 lessons and each of these lessons should take you about a week to master. So each DVD will give you about a month's worth of instructions and you should be able to complete all of them in about half a year. Along the way, you'll learn all the chords and techniques that you need to play and form of rock, metal or blues guitar. Yes, even though the company's name is Metal Method that doesn't mean that you'll only learn metal guitar.
All the Metal Method exercises are played at normal speed and at a very slow speed. This will make it easier for you to see exactly what is going on. The videos show both the close-up of the fretboard hand and the right hand, plus you'll get to see and hear everything on an animated guitar tab. So there's no way you'll get lost and not be able to follow along.
The entire Metal Method - Complete Basic Guitar Course on 6 DVDs is available for $69.70. If you don't think you need the whole course or would like to try out just one or two of the DVDs first, you can buy individual DVDs for $14.95 each.

...the course and just purchased the rest of the tapes so as to complete my collection of the world's most useful guitar course. In celebration of my progress, I also went out and bought a brand new Strat! In no time at all I will be kickin' butt and taking names.

Doug Marks & Metal Method - Review
ON-SITE Review
Doug Marks and his Metal Method rock guitar lessons got me started. Just as useful as his technique tips were his monthly newsletters, which were really inspiring because they talked about setting goals, positive thinking, and how to get where you want to go.
